“It is with sadness that I have had to make this decision,” Bell told glasgowwarriors.org.
“My family have struggled to settle in a new city under the very difficult circumstances that Covid has created, and I am fortunate to have been given the opportunity to take them back to a place they have regarded as home for the past six years.
“This move also affords me the opportunity to work once again with Alan Solomons and be part of his exciting plans for Worcester Warriors.

Wilson said: “Thank you to Jonny for his excellent and hard work this season, particularly having moved his family to a new city in very difficult circumstances.
“As a club we recognise family comes first, and though it is a shame to lose Jonny we are completely supportive of this move.”
